Message: I believe that Lagondas are made of aluminum panels over a steel frame. Is there any problems with corrosion where the aluminum meets up with the steel? I know that the reaction of the two metals together can completely eat out the aluminum. What did they do to prevent this? Also are there any other rust or corrosion concerns in the body or chassis that can be a problem? | |
